Deschenus Maximus Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hey there! I was considering arming my RAS sarges with TH and a LC after getting mauled last game by nids. The idea is that while a TH/PF is pretty much mandatory to be competitive, also having a LC would be advantageous when I have a SP nearby to give FC. Having 3 S9 stirking at I1 doesn't seem as useful in most instances compared to 3 I5, S5 (with rerolls) hits. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Way too expensive, in my opinion. For the cost, might as well go with a storm shield instead of one of the weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought, but then I figured, when am I going to get a use out of the SS? Even if I get just 1 armour save-ignoring hit, I'm not sure I'd risk putting it on my sarge - one failed save and I've just lost my TH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaz Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Today I realized that we can take dual LC's on the sargs. I must have been blind and stupid not to see it before. Usually I run a librarian with one of my RAS and make that an Epistolary with rage and sword and then the power fist seems quite unecessary in that squad. A sarg with dual lightning claws would be awesome in that RAS. ^_^ Most of all he would look cool. Thats enough for me. Giving him both a TH and LC feels like overkill, no, not overkill. Just wrong. If you're gonna spend 45pts, make it 50 and give him two power fists instead. That would also be totally awesome and then you'd be overkilling the right way! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the LC gives extra flexibility. I have to admit that it feels... off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakobus Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The TH + LC just does seem right. I get that the Sarg will have the flexability to hit fast or hit hard. But I mean you could have twin LCs and a Meltabomb for that. Maybe this is one of those "wow i never thought they'd be that effective" moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamaNagol Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 That's an obscene amount of points to spend on a 2attack model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It really is. It's just not efficient for the points you are spending. It might work for a Captain though. 0b :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zid Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I run only TH's or PF's on my melta squads, depending on what I have points for and are facing. TH's rock vs MC's, PF's against mech usually. PW's are great on my infantry terminating squads. Everything else seems like a waste o' points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
